JKNThe algorithms. I see and hear and feel them. They're everywhere. They're disturbing. They're inhuman.
Can no one tell the difference any more?
I get 300-500mbps on my current #Digi mobile plan. They have been harassing me to "upgrade" to their new plan, which runs at "up to" 100mbps, for more money. With barefaced lies that my current plan is slow and outdated.
Millions fall for this scam every year.

I'm so fucking done.
First Meta banned my 15yr old account that never posts anything because their AI said so.
Now Google is doing the same with my Ad account that's been running the same ads for nearly a decade.
No human contact. No way to dispute.
Don't blame #AI. Blame all the people who are driving the insanity in its use.
JKN TechWant a magic box that just works? #SteamMachine is for you. Want to build your own, choose your own components, architecture, even OS? You can do that too.
Both ways are completely compatible with each other. No corporate lockdowns or gatekeeping.
That's how technology should work.
#Valve is leading the way in how you can build a polished commercial ecosystem that still lets you do what you want, and plays nice with everyone else.
5G network access in #Malaysia is limited to a specific list of "certified devices", regardless of the device's actual capabilities.
Ookla's data shows that 55% of phones in Malaysia are 5G capable. Yet, less than half of those phones are actually connected to 5G networks.
Even for those who are connected to 5G, carrier plans severely limit speeds except for the highest (most expensive) tiers.

And now, the Selangor state water utility will fucking cut you off if you don't install their fucking app to pay bills.
Fuck this country and its #techtyranny
"I will never use Linux coz there are so many choices. We just want one free direct replacement of Windows".
The hurdles to mainstream Linux are social and philosophy, not technology.
#Linux #FOSS #decentralization #bigtech #techtyranny #technology
What do you do when you work in IT, in a country where #linux is "unthinkable"? Where everyone desperately clings to pirated software and #Win10EOL because trying anything else would amount to the collapse of civilization.

Malaysian tech insanity:
- Nothing exists other than Adobe Illustrator
- Adobe CS costs expensive annual fees
- Everyone runs pirated software
This is how I'm constantly ridiculed, discriminated, and yes, lost jobs, for refusing #piracy in #Malaysia
This is the country that now takes pride in being the dumping ground for the world's cheap data centers.
I need an actual magnifying glass to see my power consumption/bill.
TNB, the state power monopoly, spent money to make their basically-compulsory app worse in every way.
